Mio and Ren have had a joyful reunion at the airport but how long is this going to last as something always happens to prevent the two of them from being happily together. Once again Ren's mother comes in between them and this time for a while is successful in keeping them apart, really not sure what her purpose is as Ren wants nothing to do with his mother. Mio and Ren do break up for a while but it wasn't for long as Ren and his mother finally had it out and he let her know in no uncertain terms to stay away from Mio as he plans on being with her forever.
 For once things are going smoothly between the two until one day the band learns that Mio's twin brother's nose is now healed and he'll be returning to the band. This kind of upsets everyone at first but then Mio realizes she'll be able to stop her act and be with Ren all the time, they won't have to hide their relationship any more.

 Things keep going smoothly for Mio and Ren but his mother still has it in for Mio. She's stopped for the time being her attempt to break the pair up but hasn't stopped trying to make Mio's life miserable. She tells her of her relationship with Mio's father and how Mio actually may be her love child, Ren's mother is one cruel person. Well it does come out that it's a lie about Mio perhaps being her love child but it was no lie about the affair that happened and it ended up costing Mio's mother's life!

 Kind of a slower episode as those are really the only main events that happened. Mio's life is like a yo-yo, on one hand things have been going really well with Ren but on the other hand Ren's mother has been trying to make her life miserable and has been doing a good job at it. What's coming up is that with all that's been happening with Ren's mother Mio is starting to wonder if she can really be with him after the things his mother has done to her family. None of it is his fault though and he knows nothing of what is happening between his mother and Mio but it looks like after many failures she's finally be able to keep the two of them apart. Two more episodes to go, hope you're still awake if you've read this far, my eyelids are starting to droop a bit.
